I’ve got to clean my room, Mommy told me so
I know I’ve got to do it, but I just don’t want to go
Daddy takes my hand in his and tells me not to cry
He puts his briefcase down and loosens up his tie
He said, “Son, there’s magic behind your bedroom door
I’ve seen it as I passed by, once or twice before
You’ve got a little magic to help you clean your room
With a wink and a silent wish, your chore will be done soon!

Chorus:
You’ve got a moon for a ceiling
An ocean for a floor
A mustang for a pillow
And a rocket for a door
A knight in shining armor guards your window frame
Your shoes are an army
And Lancelot’s your name!

I couldn’t believe it! What Daddy said was true…
Everything began to change, my carpet turned dark blue
My room became a forest with an Indian so brave
What once was my closet, became a lion’s cave.
He said, “Son, you see there’s magic behind your bedroom door
I’ve seen it as I passed by, once or twice before
You’ve got a little magic to help you clean your room
With a wink and a silent wish, your chore will be done soon!

I’ve got a moon for a ceiling
An ocean for a floor
A mustang for a pillow
And a rocket for a door
A knight in shining armor guards my window frame
My shoes are an army
And Lancelot’s my name!

I’ve cleaned my room up. I’ve been done an hour or so.
But with Indians and lions, why would any boy want to go?
I think that I might play here for the rest of my life.
Riding my mustang by the moon’s golden light!
He said, “Son, you see there’s magic behind your bedroom door
I’ve seen it as I passed by, once or twice before
You’ve got a little magic to help you clean your room
With a wink and a silent wish, your chore will be done soon!

I’ve got a moon for a ceiling
An ocean for a floor
A mustang for a pillow
And a rocket for a door
A knight in shining armor guards my window frame
My shoes are an army
And Lancelot’s my name!

I’ve got a moon for a ceiling
An ocean for a floor
A mustang for a pillow
And a rocket for a door
A knight in shining armor guards my window frame
My shoes are an army
And Lancelot’s my name!
